Xbox Game Bar Broken

Game Bar periodically causes a "Grey Screen of Death" as I've started calling it. My screen goes completely grey, except for evenly spaced, one pixel thick, vertical blue lines, there are maybe 8-10 of them. When this happens, my computer is completely bricked. Mouse inputs are gone, keyboard inputs are gone. Not even a graphics driver refresh fixes it (Shift+Ctrl+Win+B). It seriously locks my whole system, and the only way to fix it is a hard system restart by holding down the power button on my PC.

I've tried:

-Unplugging the display port cable from both my graphics card (Radeon RX 6700XT) and monitor

-Updating my monitor (Samsung Odyssey Neo G8)

-Changing the display port cable

-Updating graphics and CPU drivers via AMD Software: Adrenaline Edition (current version 25.3.1)

-Updating Windows 11 to the latest version

-Repair and restart Xbox Game Bar (via system settings) then computer restart

-Complete Revo uninstall and wipe of Game Bar, then computer restart and Game Bar reinstallation

-Multiple system restarts via software (not holding down the power button)

After all this, I still get the grey screen of death. NOTHING helps. I'm convinced that this is a Game Bar software issue, and nothing I can do will fix it.

The frequency of grey screens varies, but I know Game Bar is the culprit. I've done extensive testing over the past few months to determine what EXACTLY was causing the grey screen, and it ONLY happens when I have Game Bar enabled and running. I will get a grey screen of death after the following:

-Someone joins my Party Chat

-Someone leaves my Party Chat

-A notification comes in from Game Bar

-I receive a Party Invite

-I open Game Bar

-I open a game

There are also random grey screens. I'll be in the middle of playing something with friends and none of the above will occur, yet I will still get the grey screen. It is so unbelievably frustrating to be doing something important and have my PC completely lock up on me, forcing a restart. There was one single time that I just left the grey screen for 10-20 minutes while I left and did other stuff. When I came back, it had fixed itself. I've left it alone for up to half an hour since, and it has never fixed itself again.

Weirdly though, the audio still works, I can hear and talk to people in the Party Chat with me. Yippee. Now I can tell them that I'll be leaving the game and wont have it loaded back up for several minutes.

I HAVE to use Game Bar, because it enables core parking for my AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU. As far as I'm aware, it's the only way to enable core parking when playing games in order to properly utilize the extra 3D V-Cache (uses 6 of the higher v-cache cores for gaming, and uses the other 6 for background activities). My system specs are as follows:

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 4.4 GHz 12-Core Processor
